The urine pregnancy test used at Health Services is accurate as early as 7 days after conception and is conclusive at 10 days. The tests conducted under laboratory controls are considered more reliable than "home" pregnancy tests.

Our tests can be used as early as 6 days past ovulation (dpo), when hCG levels should reach approximately 20 mIU, the detectable level. It is recommend to wait slightly longer for increased hCG levels, but no longer than 15 days because hCG levels will be too high. See similar questions...

A blood test can be positive as early as ten days after conception. The most common way to determine pregnancy is to purchase an over-the-counter home pregnancy test. The pregnancy tests on the market today can detect a pregnancy as early as the first day of your missed period (the day after your period was due). Many women's cycles are not consistent from month to month. See similar questions...

Taking a home pregnancy test is simple - though instructions must be followed precisely for both test strips and midstream tests. For test strips, immerse the strip into the urine sample with the arrow end pointing towards the urine. Do not immerse past the MAX (Marker Line). Take the strip out after 3 seconds and lay the strip flat on a clean, dry, non-absorbent surface. Next, wait for colored bands to appear. See similar questions...

The earliest that a sensitive blood test can pick up any HCG at all is 5-7 days after ovulation. Your quantitative serum beta test can be reliable about 10-12 days after ovulation, if you have not taken a HCG booster. Extremely sensitive home pregnancy tests might in some cases be reliable as soon as 12 dpo. If you have taken a HCG booster, then you may have a reliable test at 14 days past ovulation. The serum beta is the most reliable test. See similar questions...

A positive result will always be indicated by the presence of a distinct color band in the 'test' region of the pregnancy test strip or midstream test (accompanied by the presence of the 'control' band). If the test is faint (in comparison to the control band), the test may be positive, though the presence of hCG in the woman's body - or urine sample - may be low. The presence of hCG doubles every two days in a pregnant woman. See similar questions...

When you conceive, the egg is fertilized in the fallopian tube and then takes about a week traveling to the uterus, where it ultimately implants. At implantation the hormone human chronic gonadotropin (hCG) is released and can be detected, first in the blood and then in the urine in a home pregnancy test. Home pregnancy tests are only accurate if they are used at the right time. See similar questions...

Any formal exercise program such as weight lifting aerobics, jogging, etc. should be discussed with the physician. Also, the patient is advised not to take tube baths, douche, insert tampons or have sexual intercourse until the pregnancy test. See similar questions...

Yes. You will need to see a triage nurse. Check in at the main lobby reception desk. There is a $5 charge for self-requested testing ($15 if you do not have SHIP insurance.)

You can get accurate results from a pregnancy test while you're on the pill. Pregnancy tests work by measuring a specific pregnancy-related hormone — human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) — in your blood or urine. The active ingredients in birth control pills don't affect how a pregnancy test measures the level of HCG in your system. See similar questions...

False positive tests are rare - though there are instances and conditions where they can occur. For example, some tissues in a non-pregnant woman can produce hCG, though the levels are usually so low they are not detectable by home pregnancy tests (though our tests are the most sensitive on the market). Secondly, research indicates that half of all "conceptions" (fertilized eggs) do not go forward as a developing pregnancy. See similar questions...
